Psalm 74:1-3

New International Reader's Version

74 God, why have you turned your back on us for so long?
    Why are you so angry with us? We are your very own sheep.
² Remember the nation that you chose as your own so long ago.
    Remember that you set us free from slavery to be your very own people.
    Remember Mount Zion, where you lived.
³ Walk through this place that has been torn down beyond repair.
    See how completely your enemies have destroyed the temple!
